Samir is very kind and profissional. Better with a private boat than with 30 or more people in a catamaran We left very early to arrive before the other catamarans (16 in all) we had the island just for us. I saw turtles. The food was very good. Then we went snorkeling at Coin de Mire, arriving before everyone else, we were able to enjoy and see the fish. The boat was clean. Everything was perfect.

We had a great time during this full-day on a speedboat. We had the chance to see so many beautiful landscapes ! The team is absolutely great, friendly, ready to talk about their island and to make everything so you can spend an unique moment. Thank you again for your kindness, and everything, if we go back to Mauritius we will certainly book another tour !

Well organised trip with super friendly staff, good food (bbq on the boat). We were together with a bunch of local people who had great time and dancing on the boat.

We had a really fun day filled with sun, beautiful views, and amazing food. Personal highlight was the snorkeling stop and seeing all of the colorful fishes

Excellent experience onboard the cruise. The family & especially the kids got to relax & enjoy the whole day.
